Great Zombie Weapon, Tool, and Display Object
The axe/tomahawk itself is perfect. There is nothing wrong with the one that I received.When I received it, it came in a decent size shipping container. When I opened it, I was greeted with a few strips of those giant air bubbles and the axe itself. The axe was only covered in a bit of plastic. There was no box for the item itself so you wouldn’t know that it was actually from Cold Steel or what the item is specifically. So in other words, the packaging could be nicer. I expected more from Cold Steel than just plastic wrap on the head.The sheath was one of the reasons that I bought the axe. I thought it was pretty cool and I was not disappointed.When I removed the sheath, there was a bit of paper, held on my grease/oil, probably to keep the blade in good condition. I removed it an wiped off all the oils from the axe. I tested the sharpness of the axe and found it to be sharp enough. It can cut through paper rather smoothly but is not 100% consistent through out the blade. That doesn’t really matter too much since you are going to be doing a lot of chopping an not much fine cutting.Just in case you were curious, there is an area close to the head of the axe that you can hold ergonomically. With that, you get more control of the axe head and can do some fine cutting if you wish.The spike on this is very sharp and can definitely be used as a weapon during something like the zombie apocalypse. Even though the odds of actually having a zombie apocalypse is nearly 0%, it is still a fun tool to have.The handle feels very durable and strong.Total weight is 2 lbs 3 oz or 990 grams. It has a nice heft to it.Whether you are using it for some fun destruction, handy work, or a weapon for self defense, then this is a pretty good axe for your money. It costs slightly more than some lower end ones but it is well worth the $10-$20 more.

Great Lightweight breaching tool!
I didn’t really need this monster; my first line anti-zombie tools are a .40 Cal pistol on my hip and an M4 in the vehicle, and for emergency vehicle breaching I carry a decent size crowbar, but for the price, I just couldn’t resist this bad boy!The size and weight of the Trench Hawk is significant: between a hatchet and a woodsman’s axe. This is no lightweight Vietnam tomahawk. If you choke up from the bottom of the handle by one hand-length or so, the fulcrum pivot works well for one handed use (so long as you have some decent shoulder strength!). Two handed strikes are fast and powerful. The lanyard hole should be filled immediately with some 550 cord: accidentally releasing this beast could result in some serious bystander injury, and the 550 cord when properly configured as a lanyard works as a wrist sling: providing significant support and increased control for overhead swings. Stick with a lighter hawk if your use model is a one handed fighting hawk + knife in your weak hand, as the blade speed for that is a bit too slow due to the head weight.The quality of the hawk is top notch in all regards: strong synthetic handle, strong and serviceable attachment methodology, Thick steel, high quality edges, grinds and coating. The head’s “sheath” is unique, functional and appears durable. The edges of this plastic cover are a bit sharp however so plan on rounding them down a bit with a file. There is no carry feature to this blade cover, though lanyard holes on the cover could be utilized to create an improvised carry solution with 550 cord. Another carry option, if you really think you would want to hip carry this, would be to use a small hammer loop.I’ll be adding this to my breaching toolkit in my vehicle, as I think it could handle hacking though a car c-pillar if the jaws of life are not forthcoming. That being said, this is not a good solution for a camp axe, or a pack/survival tool. If you need a hatchet or an axe, a hammer side is much more valuable than a spike, and the hawks up-swept lower head curvature reduces overall blade strength). If you need to carry a survival tool (as I do when hiking), a Cold Steel Kukri machete, a Kershaw Outcast, or a Becker BK9 would be far more useful and much lighter; ditto for anti-personnel/rabid animal use.Highly Recommended as a lightweight breaching tool!

Cold Steel Trench Hawk… Perfection.
This Tomahawk RAWKS! 5/5 This is everything I hoped it would be, Cold Steel has really delivered. The design is bold and simple, just the way I like it. The 1055 steel for the axe head and the polypropylene handle are perfect for use and abuse and will take anything you throw at it. And in case your handle does break you can pick up a replacement for a few bucks. The axe head came sharp enough for chopping tasks and the spike was tapered to a needle point. The Secure-Ex sheath is great, others complain it doesn’t have a belt attachment, but it is unique and has holes on it for paracord customizations. This tomahawk does it all!Want a tactical tomahawk? Look no further, with a huge spike, 19″ of reach, and 24oz in weight it has a substantial feel in the hand.Want a tomahawk you can take on a camping trip or on the trail? Well it’s great for that too. It’s not just for fighting, this thing chops! I have took down several small trees and a medium size trees with ease and it rips through dead dried wood as well. The SOG and United Cutlery tomahawks are 15″ in length which is limited to tactical applications(IMO). The 19″ length on the Trench Hawk allows for greater power and momentum with each stroke.Want a good throwing tomahawk? The added 4″ on the handle makes it a bit more difficult to throw, but this can be conquered with just a little bit of practice. It is a good thrower and the thud you hear as the spike drives into the target is more than satisfying.I have read many reviews that say the handle is too slippery. It would be if wet, but in dry situations I can’t imagine it slipping out of any normal persons hands that has adequate grip strength. You can add grip tape or better you can stretch 700cc road bike tire over the handle, this provides the best rubber grip possible(IMO). The handle tapers outward at the end which is great, it prevents slipping and makes you aware of your grip position. The handle also has a lanyard hole.I hope this review was helpful, thank you for reading.

Se siente muy cómodo en la mano, buen peso, no demasiado grande, un poco resbaloso pero se puede solucionar con un wrap en el mango (en mi caso use piel). Lo volverÃa a comprar sin pensarlo dos veces.

Traurig dabei sind Verkäufer, die nicht sauber arbeiten und dann gut bewertet werden wollen und die Fehler bei Anderen suchen!Trotzallem: der Artikel verdient eine 5 sterne mit Plus!Sinnvoll wäre sicher der Umbau auf europaische Gewinde und spezialmuttern….Zum Thema optimale Gewichtsverteilung, den Griff kann mann einfach Einkürzen, wer das will und braucht!GruÃMP

I have to say, I mostly purchased my first one of these half on a lark. See, I have been wanting to get something along these lines for a while, but most of what I found was over priced, crap, or both. I mean, a friend bought the SOG tomahawk and while normally I really like SOG stuff, I hated their tomahawk.I had read good things about this one, saw it for a good price, and figured the best way to check it out (as no one local had them in store) was to go for it. I was NOT disappointed.First off, I find it quite nicely balanced. It is definitely a two hander in size (handle is a foot and a half long overall) but well balanced. One thing I like is that while the handle is some sort of resin, it is attached to the head by a pair of bolts. In my set of security heads I found one that can remove these bolts, so if I wanted to (or the handle broke) I could easily put it onto a wood one.While I don’t know about throwing it (personally, I am not into throwing them) it IS a very capable chopper. It holds its edge pretty darn good (better than I expected honestly). As well, the tail spike can get the job done too.The only real issue anyone might have is the protective cover. I hesitate to call what goes over the blade and spike any sort of sheath or scabbard; it is a folding plastic cover. Neat design, but lacks any real thought toward attachment points and carrying it on belt and such. It is sturdy enough that, when on the tomahawk, I am confident someone could rig up something with straps or paracord to belt carry or attach it to a pack, but it is something I think Cold Steel should have thought of in the design stage.All in all, I liked it enough that a week after I got it I ordered another to have as backup.
